Intrinsic and quest religiosity predict prejudice independently, not in combination.

Evidence

It now seems clear, however, that these two scales tap two distinct dimensions of personal religion, each of which is a component of what Allport (1950) referred to as mature religion. Although it may be tempting to propose a typology in which individuals scoring high on both the Intrinsic and Quest scales would be typed as displaying mature religion, a typology once again seems inappropriate. Associations with prejudice seem best predicted by scores on one or the other of these scales, Intrinsic or Quest, not by a combination of the two. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 2556

• XREF: Parallels the critique of typologies (Type A/B, Myers-Briggs) where continuous independent dimensions are collapsed into mutually exclusive boxes, losing predictive information.
• QUESTION: If intrinsic and quest are independent dimensions, what does scoring high on both actually look like as a lived religious orientation — and does the interaction term ever matter beyond main effects?
